Members Planet Soap Posted May 11, 2023 Members Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Oh my God. We are loosing our daytime legends fast. Bobbie was a great charachter and I wish she'd gotten more lead material in the 2000s. I'm really concerned about Leslie Charleson and I'm hoping we see her again soon.

Members teplin Posted May 11, 2023 Members Share Posted May 11, 2023 I dipped into GH during the Luke & Laura heyday and I was never a fan of them but I did almost instantly fall in love with two characters: Denise Alexander's Leslie and Jackie Zeman's Bobbie. I never watched the show regularly but I was happy to see either one of them on the rare instances I did. In the last decade, I'd tune in if I knew either of them would be in a particular episode. Unfortunately, that turned out to be exceedingly rare. I can't even believe she was 70 years old, let alone that she's now gone. I'm grateful for all the entertainment and enjoyment she provided over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted May 11, 2023 Members Share Posted May 11, 2023 I saw this last night, and was genuinely in a denial-state of shock for about ninety minutes. RIP to Jacklyn!! Now the tribute at the Nurses' Ball is even more special and heartwarming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MichaelGL Posted May 11, 2023 Members Share Posted May 11, 2023 What touching words from John Stamos. Didn't think he'd mention her passing, but I'm glad he did. Someone mentioned Lisa Brown's passing earlier, and I feel the same way right now as I did about her passing. Shock and unable to believe that someone with such light, humor, and warmth could be taken away from us. She seemed like one of those people who would live on forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted May 11, 2023 Members Share Posted May 11, 2023 As obnoxious as I find Steve Burton, Jackie was such an excellent guest on his podcast with Bradford. I’ve read interviews with her for decades and I really felt like I got to know her history pre-GH in a way that I never had before on her episode. She lived an exciting life and she really took those opportunities. The Hollywood Reporter posted a story about her, it’s full of errors, but there were some great quotes. I love that JZ described younger Bobbie as an opportunist, and respected that she always was intelligent. Her death is receiving more publicity than I would have imagined- GH really still has a stranglehold on pop culture from their heyday. She’s trending, the tributes are moving and vast. She was a soap icon for being warm, gracious, and a great actor. I also love whatever messy person at HR decided to shade JFP in the tribute, which Jackie really handled with class. In 2001, Jill Farren Phelps came on as a producer at General Hospital, and Zeman’s screen time declined as the show shifted away from Bobbie storylines. “[Phelps] wasn’t interested in the character,” Zeman told We Love Soaps. “She wanted to have other characters come on and fill that place and as a producer that is her prerogative. I certainly had a good run as Bobbie. I have nothing to feel bad about or complain about. It was a long, fabulous time.” The show must do a tribute. And I would love a goodbye for Bobbie, but also one for Jackie. I’m sure Tony Geary would do something for that, even if it is a recorded message from the Netherlands. With as many Carly’s and former lovers as possible! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted May 11, 2023 Members Share Posted May 11, 2023 Very sad and shocked to hear this. I remember Jackie Zeman on OLTL also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 11, 2023 Members Share Posted May 11, 2023 Luke and Laura's escapades might have captured the zeitgeist, but I don't think JZ ever gets enough credit for her part in saving GH from the axe. You just have to watch some clips on YT from before JZ/Gloria Monty/Douglas Marland to know that the show was going nowhere before the Scotty/Laura/Bobbie triangle took off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
